If it wasn’t enough that Chris Evans, an actor most notable for his roles as Captain America and Not Another Teen Movie’s Jake Wyler, is already handsome, rich, and apparently a decent guy, we’ve just learned something else in his favor: he’s a golden retriever.

According to The Guardian, Spanish artist Carlos Ezquerra—the designer and co-creator of iconic British comic book character Judge Dredd—has died. The Guardian doesn’t list an official cause of death, but it does note that he revealed in 2010 that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer that one of his lungs had been…

The opportunity to play Pablo Escobar—murderous cartel kingpin and (briefly, at least) duly elected government official—seems to be too tempting for any Spanish-speaking movie star to turn down. Three years after Benicio del Toro (who’s Puerto Rican, not Colombian) menacingly growled his way through Escobar: Paradise…

Naysayers and party-poopers be gone. This article is hereby the domain of people who like to have fun and think about cool shit. On the docket for today’s discussion: Bong Joon-Ho’s 2013 sci-fi action film Snowpiercer is almost definitely a direct sequel to the original Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory starring…

At the end of August, Louis CK came out of hiding for a surprise set at the Comedy Cellar in New York, just 10 months after a New York Times story confirmed rumors that CK had a habit of exposing himself to female employees and other comedians (CK later admitted that the allegations were true). He suffered some…

Maniac has proven to be a contentious show—just see the disparity between our pre-air rave and our more muted episode recaps—in part because of the wild disparity between episodes. By the time the final credits roll, you can delineate clear narrative arcs for the show’s star-crossed leads, but they’re told in a dense…

‘Tis the season for scary movies, and while there’s no shortage of modern classics to stream, it’s never a bad idea to venture back into the origins of the humble horror flick. Of course, to watch something like 1925's silent film The Phantom Of the Opera without an organist nearby can be something of a tortuous…

To call a writer a stylist can be a backhanded compliment. One is acknowledging their skill, while at the same time implying there may be something masturbatory in that skill. Over time, “stylist” has increasingly come to signify an author who’s a little too fond of the sound of their own voice, the kind of person who…

This weekend, audiences have a choice. They can go see Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga in A Star Is Born or they can watch Tom Hardy in Venom. This may seem an inconsequential decision to many, but it is actually, we are starting to realize, a matter of near cosmological importance. There is darkness or light, up or down,…

Zack Snyder may be untethered from the evolving DC Extended Universe at this point, but his rabid fanbase continues to froth for that mythic “Snyder cut” of the abominable Justice League. As fans wait for this thing that almost definitely doesn’t exist, they bide the time by daydreaming of the DCEU that could’ve been,…

For people of a certain age, the entire genre of children’s music is synonymous with the name Raffi. The Egyptian-born Canadian singer-songwriter brought joy into the lives of young people with his simple, undeniably catchy songs about bananaphones, baby belugas, and all manner of things that can be found down by the…

If you’re a fan of The A.V. Club, you’re at least familiar with Found Footage Festival founders Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher, who’ve spent the last 14 years traveling the country with a curated presentation of the weirdest and wildest VHS tapes to ever hit shelves. Their live shows are raucous and cathartic, with…

Papa John’s founder John Schnatter has been fighting to wrest back control of his company since he resigned as chairman of the board several months ago. Now he’s testifying in court as part of a Papa John’s-related lawsuit, according to Ad Age, as he tries to get access to some company documents. Within the…

Dark Souls Remastered finally arrives on Nintendo Switch on October 19, and it costs $40. However, Walmart currently has it priced at $29, for some reason. It might be a mistake, but it’s worth ordering if you want the game (you want the game).

If the first trailer for Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse served to introduce the movie’s gorgeous art style and multiple-reality premise, its latest trailer shows just how that’ll all play out. In short, they are not skimping on the Spider-People. In addition to the movie’s main Spider-Man (voiced by Shameik Moore),…

It’s been nigh on 30 years since Cabbage Patch Kids receded from popularity. A lot has changed in our world since then, allowing us to forget too easily that these dolls, which look just like other dolls, were marketed as bizarre plant/human hybrids, tilled from the earth before being put in boxes and sold to the…

Welcome to Random Roles, wherein we talk to actors about the characters who defined their careers. The catch: They don’t know beforehand what roles we’ll ask them to talk about.
